Bucharest has a spec

Bucharest has a special charm, especially in the evening, when the lights come on around the Romanian Athenaeum and the old city center. A walk here feels like a step back in time. Not far away, you’ll notice the elegant house of Coana Mița Biciclista—a famous figure from Romania’s interwar era, known for her beauty, especially for her bold spirit and nonconformist image. In the lovely Cotroceni neighborhood, spring brings magnolias in full bloom and quiet streets filled with cozy cafés like Throwback Coffee and Stories—perfect for a slow morning or an afternoon break. Planning a city break? Tempus is a charming boutique hotel in the heart of Bucharest, with art nouveau decor and a warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home.
